Ecclesiastes 4:13-15

Modern English Version

The Vanity of Status

¹³ Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king who will no longer be admonished. ¹⁴ For out of prison he has come to reign, even though he was born poor in the kingdom. ¹⁵ Then I saw all those who live and walk under the sun, along with the next youth who will arise in the king’s place.
